This tour was operated by Bein Harim Israel Tours. We started from Tel Aviv and they were supposed to pick us up from the hotel. 24 hours before the tour (so you cannot cancel) they sent us an email indicating a different pickup location. So, we had to manage to get to the pickup location. The pickup time was 6:30am on a bus with other 60 people. From there, they take you to another location where you have to hop on another bus. Then you arrive to Jerusalem, and you have to hop on another bus. This means that on logistics you will waste 3 hours to get to Jerusalem and 3 hours to come back because the return is exactly the same nightmare but backwards. So, a total of 6 wasted hours. You end spending in the tour about 3 hours with ZERO time to look on the bazars or local shops. As a Catholic person, this tour meant a lot to me, but it was poorly delivered by our guide. In my opinoin, this tour should be given by a Christian person who can relate the story and the faith. Having a non-Christian person made the whole experience unpleasant.

This was a wonderful tour and our guide, Tomer, brought this rich history to life. He was passionate, knowledgeable and a simply wonderful guide. Having time to absorb the the significance of each site and see Jerusalem through the eyes of a local was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour. It does require a reasonable level of fitness and mobility as there is a fair bit of walking and the ground can be steep and uneven. Thanks for sharing your passion with us Tomer!
